Most of our clients that end up on probation want to modify or change a term of probation. The law allows you to petition the court through your lawyer to change the terms and conditions of your probation. Some examples are:
- Terminate probation early to obtain employment
- Request extra time to do community service of Cal Trans work.
- Modify your jail time to home electronic confinement.
- Convert jail time to a drug or alcohol rehabilitation program.
- Reenroll in an alcohol program
- Convert a fine on to community service.
- To modify their jail commitment to caltrans or an out of custody work program instead of jail
- Change formal probation to informal probation.
The list goes on and on. Whatever need you have we can petition the court to change the terms and conditions of your probation.
We can file a motion to change the terms of your probation. The code section that we follow is Penal Code Section 1202.3. It is found in criminal law 101 in the site.
Compared to other motions this can be heard on short term notice. A typical motion may take 10-30 days to hear. A motion to Modify Probation requires a 2 day notice and we can have it filed very quickly. We will serve a copy of the motion on the District Attorney and Probation department in the court where you entered your plea.
At the hearing we will argue your case and at the end have an order for the court to sign granting our motion. From then on the terms are changed to the new terms.
If you have any specific questions contact us so we can answer those questions for you. The consolation is free.
